An Arctic Fox's Amazing Journey

Hey, what's up, everyone?

Oh, excuse me just a moment. I'm just going to have a glass of water. ……

Ahhh! Hmmm my ice cubes are almost gone. 冰塊幾乎沒了...

Ice melts when it's warm, right? And when ice melts, it turns into water.

冰融化了變成水 對不對?

And you know where there's lots of ice... 你們知道哪裡都是冰嗎? The North and

South Poles! 北極跟南極!

But did you know, the ice, just like in my glass of water, is melting?...

That's right, 那邊的冰正在融化了.

This has an effect on some animals too.

Like, did you hear the story about the young arctic fox?

你有看到一篇報導是講一隻小白狐.

She traveled from Norway in Northern Europe, all the way to Canada in North

America! 3,500 kilometers!

That's a long way! 從挪威到加拿大! Wow! 真的是好遠喔!

………

The little fox walked on ice and crossed frozen seas to get there!

牠走在結冰的海上! Brr!

I hope she had some nice warm clothes... maybe a hat... 希望牠有記得穿外套,

戴帽子... Wait, do foxes wear hats? Ha! Of course not.

They have their own thick, natural fur coat to keep them nice and warm.

狐狸當然不會戴帽子拉! 牠的毛夠溫暖. Good job, little fox!

But why did the little fox leave home? And why did the fox go so far away?

Scientists think it's because the fox's home is changing. It's melting, just

like my ice cubes.. And It's melting because the earth is warming up… and

that's a bad thing it means animals are losing their homes 地球暖化

有些動物的家不見了.

But there is something we can do... We can help by saving energy! So when

you're not watching TV, turn it off! Leaving the room? Hit that light switch!

And when you throw away trash, please remember to recycle! 記得要省電.

沒有在用的電視 之類的,記得關掉. 動物會很感謝你!
